Basically what the title says. Someone I know is building a house and they want all sorts of security and privacy added benefits one could have with no hold backs.
This post basically serves as a place for everyone to come contribute ideas, hardware, and software, even self hosting is possible to increase the safety, security, and privacy of the home. So feel free to contribute thoughts and ideas but please include how to implement your concept if you can!
Plug and play is preferred but a little reasonable amount of self hosting could be done, with a preference on mechanical hardware where possible but not a hard set requirement.
While money isn’t an major issue within reason, be realistic and preferably eco friendly. Thanks everyone ahead of time!
Hot take, but your local community matters infinitely more than the construction of your house. Build somewhere you have neighbors yoh get along with who will stick their neck out for you.
That being said, you can do the following:
Plant/build near large trees to cover from satellite/aerial photography
run conduit throughout so you don’t have to rely on wireless networking
install security cameras that feed somewhere local (I’m assuming nobody who breaks into your house gives enough of a shit to fins and destroy your recordings)
buy actually good locks, doors, and doorframes. Make sure you’re aware of what to expect from these, they wont actually keep someone out, they just make entrance louder and slightly more cumbersome.
build a secret sex room for you and your spouse. This is less of a privacy asset, and more just a fun thing to do.
Unless agent 47 do silent assassin suit only run.
